There has always been “luxury toys” in the sport. See your earlier comment re: XTR. I could never afford XTR when I was younger. It was a total luxury to run a Race Face turbine crank. Some of my friends even had dedicated riding shoes! Talk about luxury. It’s all relative, including one’s perception.
